Neurogenic differentiation factor 2 is a protein that in humans is
encoded by the NEUROD2gene.[1][2]

This gene encodes a member of the neuroD family of neurogenic
basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins. Expression of this gene can
induce transcription from neuron-specific promoters, such as the
GAP-43 promoter, which contain a specific DNA sequence known as an
E-box. The product of the human gene can induce neurogenic
differentiation in non-neuronal cells in Xenopus embryos, and is
thought to play a role in the determination and maintenance of
neuronal cell fates.[2]
